April

Nice surprise - footing and foundation crew came early.  We were ready but had been told it'd be later in May, this happened on the 3rd. The rest of the post is about April.

In a few hours, a crew of 7 or 8 guys laid out forms for footings. Yay!

Uh oh - big truck ran over our (Jared's) hard work. That 2x4 lying flat was a vertical, 2' tall marker, circled by orange paint, pointed out by general contractor to subcontractor which was NOT to be driven over.  Who needs plumbing anyway?

Switching gears - the boys Spring Break was a "staycation" for us, included a visit to a trampoline park, the This Is the Place Heritage Park, and to Wellington.

Paxton, Bennett and Jack stamping leather.

We had a fun time crashing Grandma's with cousins on the weekend of Bennett's birthday.  Most of the time the living room looked like a tornado had passed through and come back again.

Easter egg masterpieces. That tie-dye looking one was Jared's work. Perhaps I'm rubbing off on him. Fyi, using eggs with naturally colored shells can result in some nice colors - the deep red one was a darker brown egg and the orange was a pale brown to start with.

Funny story behind this colt - a little mule. His mother (our neighbor's horse) was off to the trainer when the trainer called to let him know she had delivered a colt. They had no idea she was expecting.  After an 11 month gestation they realized she had encountered a donkey in Idaho and this little guy was born April 1st. No fooling.

Just flowers because I like them.
